The document discusses the structure and function of eukaryotic cells. It describes the key organelles of animal cells including the cell membrane, nucleus, cytoplasm, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi bodies, lysosomes, and ribosomes. It also covers the similarities and differences between animal and plant cells, noting plant cells have a cell wall, chloroplasts, and a large central vacuole while animal cells contain cilia, flagella, and smaller vacuoles. The control center of the cell is the nucleus, which contains chromosomes carrying genes, while mitochondria generate energy through respiration.

The cell
- 2. Eukariotic Cells Basic structural unit External membrane gives shape to the cell: Controls movement of material in or out of the cell Oxygen and nutrients go in and carbon dyoxide and other waste material go out
- 3. Cytoplasm A gel-like substance in which all of the organelles float
- 4. Nucleus The control center of the cell Inside there are the cromosomes that carry genes
- 5. Endoplasmic reticulum Responsible for the transport of material within the cell
- 6. Mitochondria The powerhouse of the cell Site of respiration of the cell which releases energy
- 7. Lysosomes Digest food thanks to enzymes
- 8. Golgi bodies
- 9. Ribosomes Make protein in the cell
- 11. Plant cells Cell wall Helps maintain rigidity Chloroplast Photosynthesis One Large Vacuole Store water
- 12. Similarities Cell membrane Cytoplasm Nucleus Ribosomes Endoplasmic Reticulum Golgi bodies Mitochondria Differences Animal Cilia, flagella, lysosomes, small vacuoles Plant Cell wall, one large vacuole, chloroplasts 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
